Taste of Burgundy

To really say that you have ‘explored’ the beautiful Burgundy region with your French yacht, you have to spend a lot of time tasting rich and rich dishes and fine wines elegantly wandering the streets and fields. Burgundy is an area where food and wine, sourced from the same rich lotus, is an integral part of the region itself.

Think of a stew full of the flavor of the flesh raised in the field; wine grows in its incessant vineyard; mustard seeds from ripe seeds in the sun; and snails feeding on the famous vines. This is the herb that became the heart of Burgundy cuisine. Feel the True Burgundy on your French Cruise Barge

Dishes to Find

While visitors to France often look forward to excellent ‘French’ food, it’s worth remembering before you leave for a French cruise ship to Burgundy, each region has its own unique cuisine, fed by local flavors and ingredients. However, in the Burgundy case, these ingredients have become so popular in the world that local dishes in the region have become part of what we now consider to be typical French cuisine.

Dishes like Boeuf Bouguignon – where the notorious local red wine combined with Charolais cattle in the region to create a hearty mellow soup full of flavor – has become a popular staple in many French brasseries. Other dishes, such as escargots à la Bourguignonne, are not only made in this region, but depend on local black slugs that are raised and fed on local grape leaves.

You may have seen on the AOC Poulet de Bresse menu, referring to the chicken raised in and around the Bresse in Burgundy. Chicken laying free with rich and soft milk and wheat that likes meat, making it a perfect ingredient for any chicken dish. Combine this chicken with the famous local Dijon mustard and some excellent local Chablis and you will have a feast suitable for a king (or guests traveling on a French yacht).
